    Ok, who’s in with me??

    Good luck to those taking exams this quarter. Those of you, like me, who are taking your last exam, KILL IT!!!

    Let’s do this together.

    Well my plan for today is work on MCQs per topic, so I can see my weak points. Then work on those weak points.

    Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
    AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
    REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
    FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
    BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
    After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

    Took REG last week. Becker BEC class starts up today. I've had a good few days off to visit with family in from out of town… this morning I get back on the study wagon… I'd write more, but I don't want to be late for my date with Peter Olinto.

    REG- 53, 91
    BEC- 88
    FAR- 62, 85
    AUD- 85

    Ethics- 93

    Good morning Jomarie

    I am taking FAR first week of August. I have taking notes, type them. I am in the process of re-writing the NINJA and my own notes and doing MC as well. I have not done to many simulations. Any advice please

    It is BEC a she? I thought is a he.

    I will be praying for you that July 17 is the end of the CPA nightmare. Do not forget the red panties.

    Happy studies

    Vicki

    3 days of studying left until REG and I am still on the fence on whether to reschedule. I REALLY don't want to but I also don't want to take the chance of having to study for this thing again! Going to study a ton tonight and tomorrow night and see how comfortable I am. I felt this way going into FAR and passed but really just went ahead and took it since the window was closing. And I only passed by a point. I have more flexibility with this one. But, I also don't want to cut myself short with BEC. I want to get it out of the way by the end of August. Gahhhhh!! Decisions, decisions…

    Well, I had to reschedule reg for Aug 3. There was just no way I was going to be ready tomorrow, too many deadlines at work and crazy at home helping my hubby get his business off the ground. I just didn't feel quite ready. I am also going to push FAR back til October but hopefully this will be it for me.

    Right there with you bnrhilton! I rescheduled this morning for Aug 2nd. I would rather take 2 more weeks and be more confident going in than I am right now. I just don't feel ready. We should have our mid-year close out at work done by then so that will be off my mind. I also take my tax final next week so I will have a good week after that to get ready for REG. Hopefully I can cram BEC into just under 4 weeks. I have seen on here where others have done it before in 3-4 weeks. I feel pretty good about my decision so far!!

    All right, tomorrow morning is my date with Prometric. Time to see if 4000+ MCQs and about 90 SIMs of practice is enough to get my thick skull around FAR.

    My son had his birthday party on Saturday (he turned 3)… I'm so looking forward to playing with him with his new train set. I just hope he never has to hear “Sorry buddy, daddy can't play with you right now… he has to study” EVER again.

    Here's to a shot at ending this madness forever! Good luck all!

    @tbstew Hope it went well!!! Congarts on getting ready and being in the first score release group!! I was supposed to take REG today but chickened out. How exciting that this is your last!! I am looking forward to that feeling. I will finish REG and then attack BEC with a vengeance!! Trying to get them both in this window. I will take BEC at the end of August no matter what. I see the light at the end of the tunnel…just hope it's not the train lol
